When people ask us to describe our sound, We tell them “ Well, there’s a real hillbilly influence but as songwriter’s we play a variety of sounds and instruments.” Thus the VooDoo part of our name. Lance and I met in 1993 and have played together ever since. At first we just focused on accompanying each others songs, as time went on and new instruments were introduced to the act, we embarked on an exciting journey of co-writing songs. The songs we write together are strongly influenced by old-time music and the great songwriters of our time, Lucinda Williams, Towns Vandszant, Greg Brown, Welch & Rawlings and Steve earl to name a few. Our lyrics seek to reflect the trials and struggles of our lives and the broader influence of the world we live in. Our sound is not so much a specific genre or niche but a vibe and a groove. As individual songwriters, we both delve into the emotional and the stories we feel need telling.
The years of 2000 and 2001 were great years for us, playing festival stages,(bluegrass, old-time, cowboy poetry and arts festivals) , radio stations all over Utah and Colorado, and house concerts. The music took a bit of a back seat for the years in between now and then due to a life threatening illness with our youngest child, but she is well and healthy and we are, once again , ready to get out and share our musical journey with the folks out there who enjoy music!

The inability or rather unwillingness of the human mind to let go of the past is beautifully illustrated in the story of two Zen monks, Tanzan and Ekido, who were walking along a country road that had become extremely muddy after heavy rains. Near a village, they came upon a young woman who was trying to cross the road, but the mud was so deep it would have runined her kimono she was wearing. Tanzan at once picked her up and carried her to the other side. The monks walked on in silence. Five hours later, as they were approaching the lodging temple, Ekido couldn't restrain himself any longer. "Why did you carry that girl across the road?" he asked. "We monks are not supposed to do things like that." "I put that girl down hours ago," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?" From Eckhart Tolle - A New Earth
